The most overused, oddly glorified, yet under-respected topic on the internet:
Childhood Trauma.
It’s why your dad won’t cry, your relationships don’t stick, and why you feel exhausted every morning.
Here’s what trauma is—and how to reverse its effects (backed by science): 🧵

"One of the things that I really love about Simon House and what makes it all worthwhile are the graduations. To watch a dozen or so men who have completed the program and not only who are grateful but who are going to go on and live well is so rewarding."

I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the people who claim to be Christians that defend him…
@Franklin_Graham @seanfeucht @robertjeffress @charliekirk11
Trump is vulgar and mean.
He has made a vocation out of the seven deadly sins, and a mockery of the fruits of the Spirit.
Trump needs Jesus.
And we need a new President.
We shouldn’t allow our middle school kids to act like this… let alone someone aspiring to be President.
You cannot follow Jesus and Trump.
Choose Jesus.

Happy Halloween, Calgary!🎃
Today, I embraced my inner Wednesday Addams, handing out candy to some of our youngest little monsters and sharing chilling tales at the Calgary Central Library. 📚💀
I hope everyone finds a little bit of magic and mystery today.👻
Remember to keep a watchful eye on our tiny tricksters, and let’s make it a safe night for all. Wishing you a frightfully fun Halloween!🧡🖤

I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”
Here is my answer:

That speech Michelle Obama just gave was one of the best of this entire cycle. She is unbelievable. Here’s how she brought it home.

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on about why MAGA fascists worship a loathsome piece of shit who 99% of the democratic free world thinks is a disgusting bucket of ass vomit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

My goal is always to bring your voice to Council. I consistently vote to represent my constituents because I believe in listening to what matters to you.
That’s why I am supporting the Engagement Notice of Motion next week—to fix a broken system where too often, public feedback is lost in the shuffle. We need a process where your input is not just heard but directly influences decisions.
This motion is a step toward ensuring Calgarians’ voices truly shape the future of our city. #yyccc

Some reasons I'm voting for Harris:
1. She wants to restore the enhanced monthly child tax credit and make it permanent
2. She wants to introduce a new $6,000 tax credit for newborns
3. As a senator, she proposed an adult tax credit that I consider a solid step toward UBI
4. I ❤️ @Tim_Walz and his appreciation for universality and ranked choice voting
5. She wants to expand Medicare to cover home care
6. She is YIMBY and wants to build baby build
7. During the pandemic, she tried to get us $2,000 a month
8. She wants to sign the Freedom To Vote Act into law
9. She wants to sign into law legislation that would restore women's right to reproductive autonomy
10. She is an empathetic leader
